We last left off with the Child spotting a house the distance. The Child and the Father debated weather they should go to the house. It was further then it seemed and would severely hurt their progress. They decided to go ahead and take the risk since they were so low on food. They arrive at the house and found that it indeed had some old food. Their were vegetables and fruits in some cans. The Child and the Father were unsure at first if they should have them. They seemed quite old and could almost be poisonous to them. They decided to go ahead and take the risk of eating them. They didn't have many other choices. Luckily for them, the food was still good enough for eating. They were saved....for the moment. They decided to stay at the house for 4 days. However they decided that they had to keep moving. The found another cart which would allow them to carry some more supplies. They also found some blankets in the house which were a great help in surviving the dark, cold nights.
The Father and the Child continued to move South. Eventually they started to feel the salty ocean air on their faces. Continuing on their journey they finally arrived at the beach. The beach was gray and covered with ash. TO their dismay, the ocean was not blue as the Father had last remembered it. The were no birds, or any other signs of life for that matter. In the end the Child was so anxious to go play in the water, that he decided to go ahead and go for it. While he was swimming the Father realized how skinny and weak he was. The child came back out of the water and was shivering for quite a while.
The Father then finds a boat the next morning after they wake up. They decided to become scavengers in hopes of finding anything of value. They were lucky that they found this boat. It was full of a great deal of goodies. The first and most important thing he found in the boat was cabinet of canned food. The Father quickly took this and began taking as much as he could. He also found some pair of shoes, which are always useful. Then there were some tools in the corner which can always come in handy. He also found a flare gun. This is quite a big find because they can use it to signal for people if they need to. The Father has the intention of using it as a gun to put people on fire though. Overall the boat that the Father found was a great find which saved their lives.
